Safe for Aquariums? Any suggestions of power source? Thanks.

I cannot say whether or not this leaks a tiny amount of current that could disturb or be injurious to fish. It certainly doesn't leak a lot of power or it would short out. The power supply just needs to meet the motor specs. My guess is a true aquarium pump with integrated power supply would be cheaper and safer.

cut up an old USB charger to provide 5VDC (the motor max 12V). Or any 12 volt source from old small electronics.

I have used one placed in a small aquarium for over a year, to recirculate water to a small hydroponic garden.

Seems to be. if you prime it, It does not need to be in the water. A lot off water movement, not for a small tank.

What voltage are you using? We use this for our 150 gallon tank with no problems.

This will be too strong because of the wattage, if you can find a 75w then go for it. I use mine on a 55 gallon tank but I wouldn't d use it on a tank that small.

110 V here in the states, best waterfall filter I have tried, put some bio rings in the bottom for bacteria, it flows nice and is quiet, go with a external canisters filter, your way better off, unless you have a very small tank, Ken.

The unit IS submersible but the power conditioner needs to remain dry. There's about 3 feet of cord to work with though. I'd say it's made for indoor aquarium use. Outdoor pond might give it a beating.

This tank uses 2 normal 110 plugs. One for the good light and one for the filter. It does not come with a heater which is needed for tropical fish. This is a great starter tank.

Might be a little big for a 2g tank and powerful, id suggest a robot led lamp or something smaller as this is a 24w lamp and quite powerful to penetrate deep water.

Get the 50W version. My tank is 5 gal and I was recommended 50W's and it works perfectly :)

Sorry I have not used it for aquariums only grandkids sand box...you might check with a pet store that has fish and ask if it would be safe for your fish

The Aqueon is been unreliable for temp, I bought a Eheim heater and its holding temp well, for a tank your size the 300w should do the trick, rated for up to 250g

I have a 55g aquarium and I bought two. I would recommend that you buy three for a 150g tank. There is definitely enough power to the lights as well. I have mine set at 30% whites and 45% blues.

Depends on how big you are thinking of, I guess. Maybe a little 5 hp outboard would work, but I run a Minnkoti 50lb thrust on mine and it moves right along. I got the Minnkoti battery box, too, because I leave my Pelican in the water all summer. It keeps it dry and I can check on my battery level with the push of a button. And my kids got me a solar battery charger last Christmas, and I mounted it on the back side, so I am ready to go fish all the time. It's a great set up! Have fun - Nancy

It would probably work well for insulation. I would just worry about the weight of the aquarium.

I found this site with more info on this product. http://www.aquariumguys.com/miniheater.htmlBetter price here. : )

I think it would be a fine power filter for a saltwater aquarium if that's what you're looking for

There are other brands for a similar price. I bought two of these Marineland units and both failed within 15 months. My latest set (2 for my 120) are from Current USA. They have customizable colors (which can produce very nice color variations in the fish with very small "tweaks" to the lighting), and variable brightness. The Current USA brand would be ideal for the tank you describe.

I use it on an aquarium light and it works great. I would think it would be fine.
